"No sector of the community should be immune to this type of activity or evidence collection more broadly," he said.

"This includes law enforcement itself, the media or, indeed, even politicians.

"There are criminal allegations being investigated and we cannot ignore them. We are duty bound to conduct these investigations impartially and thoroughly."

The Australia Federal Police chief has warned that journalists and MPs are not immune from criminal prosecutions, leaving open the possibility of jail terms for those found to have broken the law.

“Our investigations are an ­objective search for the truth. It involve­s the discovery and present­ation of evidence in an exhaustive, comprehensive, and organised manner. No sector of the community should be immune to this type of activity or evidence collection more broadly.

In October 2016 I reported to the Commonwealth Attorney General and the CDPP the matter of Gillard's use of a forged letter in sworn evidence to a Royal Commission.

To date, the AFP has not contacted the single witness who could give unimpeachable evidence about the forged letter, the purported signatory Ray Neal.

On 25 October 2016 I made a report to you regarding serious indictable offences arising from the Trade Union Royal Commission concluding with this paragraph:

For the avoidance of doubt, I am reporting this matter to you as a report of serious indictable offences. Given the use of the apparently false instruments at the TURC in the process of it hearing false and misleading evidence and the Commissioner's acceptance (in the absence of any enquiries having been made about their provenance) of the Exhibits as good and valid copies of the documents they purport to be, the use of the false instruments is an ongoing offence (particularly to the purported author) and the record should be corrected.

Yesterday I received a note from the former Commissioner for Corporate Affairs in West Australia Ray Neal, the man who says he did not write nor sign nor authorise any person to create or use the letter purporting to be from him.

Mr Neal said there has been, "...no contact to date" from police or any authority.

I needn't remind you Madam these are very serious offences. The former Commissioner for Corporate Affairs held a high and responsible office. He alleges a letter in an important and now notorious matter purporting to have been written and signed by him is not the document it purports to be.

Mr Neal is a central complainant in this matter. I would expect police to be disciplined for misconduct if a burgled homeowner had not been interviewed 120 days after a complaint had been lodged.

REQUEST

Perhaps you might be so kind as to advise me whether or not you believe the investigative response to the now 120 day old report of serious indictable offences has been appropriate.

May I again thank you Madam and your office for its prompt and complete response to my report in the first instance and your advice as to your referral to police for further action.
